Find Relief from Headaches, Clenching, and Jaw Tension

How Therapeutic BOTOX® Works
Therapeutic BOTOX® is not about changing your appearance—it’s about helping muscles “let go” when they’re stuck in a stressed, overworking pattern. For TMJ concerns, that often means relaxing the muscles used for clenching. For migraine-related tension, it can mean reducing strain in areas that commonly tighten and contribute to headache cycles. Results typically develop gradually over several days and can last for months, depending on the individual.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your appointment starts with a focused evaluation of your symptoms, bite function, and muscle tenderness. Dr. Elena Johnston will identify the areas most likely to contribute to your discomfort and discuss whether BOTOX® is appropriate for your goals. Treatment involves a series of small, precise injections into targeted muscles. Most patients describe the process as quick and manageable, and downtime is minimal.
